A Writer's Notebook, Day Two-Hundred-And-Thirty-Nine

I feel rather good about today in general.  I wrote three or four new poems.  It seems a good thing to me when I lose count of the exact number, to be honest.  It is like I am doing enough to not need to pay that much attention to it in some way, and that is good.  As well, I got back to work on that play, and feel that I have a rather strong concept of where things are going.  There is a great deal that I want to do in it, and I think I have a good idea of things that need to be done, both going forwards and as I revise what I have already written.

In terms of going forwards, I think that I know what is about to transpire and am actually quite excited at writing that exchange.  In it, one of the two characters will be revealed a bit, in a way that should be sort of surprising.  I'm also aware that I need to do some work to build up the world around the play, which I started but didn't continue enough.  It is something that I can add in as I work, to give dimension to the piece, and as I learn more about the characters and the world, I will have more to add back.

On personal levels, I do think I did make some positive strides and choices, and I am hoping that I might be moving in the right direction.  I'm not going to pretend to be perfect, or even that the changes are not small, but I feel I am making some kind of progress and that is a positive thing.  I'm hoping that maybe this is the start of larger shifts, as I think knowing how good it feels to let certain things alter is a really positive motivator.

A Writer's Notebook, Day Two-Hundred-And-Fifty

Each of the three pieces I wrote today was a bit of a struggle to get going, if I am honest.  That happens, as I have mentioned, and my answer is generally to just wait it out, and the results vary.  A lot of the time, if I am really stuck, I might try to force something out, often it winds up being a bit meta, with me writing about being stuck without much in terms of inspiration, and it feels a bit like I am working scales in a way.  All the aesthetic decisions are there, they just don't always have a lot of purpose behind them, and that is fine in that context.  Essentially, I am just forcing myself to do the work, and getting it done, and I am showing myself that I can and will do it even if inspiration never strikes.  This can often take pressure off, and that lack of pressure opens up creative thinking and inspiration. Now, that is a fine thing for me to do, and I am likely to use that approach again many times in the future, but today I felt that I want...

Le Guin, Steering The Craft, Chapter Five: Adjectives and Adverbs (Exercise Five, Chastity)

A note of apology for my lateness with this.  I had expected to have time earlier in the day, but it was not to be, alas.  Anyhow, I am still a bit nervous about this exercise, though it is clearly of significant import to Le Guin, as she points out that it is the only exercise that she has given to all of her workshops.  That, of course, does not alter my feelings about it, excepting that I am aware of it as something valuable and worth doing, so the fact that it is a bit daunting might well be seen, through that light, as a promise of reward, perhaps.  The more difficult the task, the more one has to gain, at least by some logic... Exercise Five: Chastity Mr. Torino was in charge.  He had his way.  It was the way.  Desktops are clean.  Nothing but work.  No pictures: not your kids; not your girl or wife; not (as Allen recounted) your car.   None of that.  No plants.  No cartoons.  That is for home, this is work....

A Writer's Notebook, Two-Thousand-And-Fifty-Nine

I have been thinking about how I can discuss certain aspects of my poetry and the choices I make as a writer.  In particular, I tend to write without as much reliance on sensory details and descriptions, instead choosing more abstract depictions.  This is something that I know many writers would call an odd choice, as specificity seems inherently to demand the application of detail, but I tend to be a bit hesitant about relying on depictions that utilize the senses, as I find that approach somewhat problematic.  For one thing, sensory description is always going to be less than universal, and not only because of the reality that there are individuals who lack one or more sense.  In many ways, for me, the deeper problem is one related to language itself.  Our use of language creates our experiences in a very real way, though I can't necessarily offer a full explanation of what I mean by that right here, but using a word for an object bestows qualities on it....
